An old accommodation of approximately 80 m², located at the end of the main barn, needs to be fully renovated. The elegant tower-porch and the old dovecote stand proudly to remind us of the illustrious past of this property which was an important castle until the mid-18th century. The whole is sold with about 37 hectares of healthy and good-quality meadows, watered by a permanent stream.

Motorway access is close by, providing a 2h30 drive from Paris. Situated between the Cher and Nièvre rivers, the Sancerrois and its UNESCO World Heritage landscapes are just 30 minutes away by car, while the Nièvre, with its authentic countryside and rich heritage, is a wonderful place to discover. From the town, a 350-metre avenue of plane trees leads into the château's main courtyard. At the end of this driveway, a wall marks the entrance. Pilasters frame a gateway leading into the courtyard. The château faces east and west. The 2-storey castle comprises two main buildings surrounding a strong stone tower with a roof dormer featuring pilasters and two engaged turrets, flanked by two raised watch-towers.

Réf. 4556: For sale near Nevers, authentic manor with its farmhouse. The manor house is set in open countryside in the south of the Nièvre department, around twenty kilometres from Nevers. The setting is very bucolic, with the bocage still very much in evidence, with a happy mix of meadows and cultivated fields. The site is of regional interest for its bocage fauna. Preserving this heritage requires the maintenance of small-scale livestock farming, which is one of the factors in the conservation of grassland environments, hedgerows and watercourses. A well-maintained 80-hectare forest nearby is a great place for hiking. The estate is in the Natura 2000 area. The area is perfectly peaceful, with no nuisances whatsoever. The nearest shops are less than 10 km away. According to the Nièvre archives, the manor house dates back to the 18th century. It belonged to the Benedictine nuns of Nevers, who owned forge mills on the Sardolle, a small river that runs through the property. The presence of slag (siliceous residue from the forge) in the soil around the river attests to the mill's long history of activity. The estate was seized during the Revolution and sold to a notary at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1861, following an epidemic of malaria, all the ponds in the south of the Nivernais plateau were drained and the mills came to a halt. An adjoining locality is called 'l'Étang' and an old dyke, now planted with an elegant mall of lime trees, can still be seen on the property. - The manor : After crossing small country roads and a hamlet with a beautiful Romanesque chapel, the property is accessed via a small valley along a path recently planted with a mall of tulip trees. You have to cross an old stone bridge under which the small river flows to reach the manor. The mill is built on a square plan with a tower on the main façade topped by a lantern. Numerous mullioned windows testify to its age, and the facades are currently of jointed exposed stone, with ashlar corners and window towers. The manor house is accessed via the square tower. An entrance hall with a winding wooden stairway leads to a large dining room-library with low panelling and a Louis XV stone fireplace, followed by a large 46 sqm lounge with large picture windows overlooking the garden. There is also low panelling and another Louis XV wood-burning stove with an insert, topped by a panelled overmantel. Continuing on, there is a fully-equipped kitchen that opens onto a conservatory/dining room, leading to the garden. Next door is a utility room and toilet. On the first floor is a very large 45 sqm suite with 4 windows and a magnificent view over the parkland and surrounding countryside. There is also a large dressing room with window and a bathroom with window. Then there is a second bedroom with its own bathroom. The second floor has a large landing, 2/3 bedrooms and a bathroom. The whole building is very well maintained. - The farmhouse Opposite, in the courtyard, a large, early 19th-century farmhouse 255 sqm is set in the continuity of the remaining dyke. It is built of exposed stone with dressed stone window and door towers. The flat-tiled roof is pierced by three attractive wooden dormer windows. On either side of the façade are a wisteria and a vine that produces excellent table grapes. In the grounds, we find a barn with a floor surface area of just under 150 sqm, with a canopy and a very fine exposed roof frame. Adjoining the barn, on the edge of the orchard, is a small building that must have been a former greenhouse, plus an kennel and henhouse. The entrance to the farmhouse is through a small-paned glass door. The entrance hall leads on the right to a very large 60 sqm through lounge with 3 windows and two French window.

It contains the stables, a kennel and a henhouse. There are also two sheds. The 16 acres of parklands are, like the manor's surroundings, bucolic, varied and undulating. Large fenced-in meadows surround the property, allowing animals to roam and the beautiful landscape and environment to be observed. The river runs through the park from east to west, crossing it via a very old stone bridge. An old dyke extending from the farmhouse is planted with an old line of lime trees, and at its end is a bowling green. There is a beautiful orchard with around twenty fruit trees that produce excellent fruit, and a red fruit garden completes the orchard. The entire park is planted with beautiful trees, offering a collection that resembles a small arboretum.
